Abstract
In this letter, a new omnidirectional circularly polarized (CP) antenna is proposed. By adopting a coaxial probe, in which a metal sleeve acts as a monopole, and printed spoke-like metal strips fabricated on two substrates, which act as a loop, this antenna exhibits an omnidirectional circularly polarized radiation in the azimuthal plane. Theory, design, simulation, and experiment of the antenna are presented. Measurement results show that the proposed antenna can achieve a -10-dB impedance bandwidth of 13.8% (ranges from 1.55 to 1.78 GHz) and a 3-dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth of 17.5% (ranges from 1.46 to 1.74 GHz) in the azimuthal plane. At the frequency of 1.575 GHz, the measured average axial ratio and right-hand CP (RHCP) gain are 1.91 dB and 0.86 dBi, respectively, in the azimuthal plane.Keywords
